I'm curious as to whether anyone has hooked their stroker SAAB up to an exhaust emission analyzer to see exactly what sort of CO, hydrocarbon levels, etc. it produces with the original equipment. Two-strokes have a reputation for being 'dirty' - I'm just trying to quantify this. I know some great advances are being made in 2-stroke technology for off-road bikes, snowmobiles, and the like - has anyone made any successful modifications to a vintage 2-stroke to reduce emissions (new carburetors, catalytic converters, etc.)? I'm starting the search that might lead me to buying a 93 or 96 but what I can find in regards to 2 stroke motors concerns me. My current weekend car isn't 'green' by any stretch of the imagination but what I've read leads me to believe that a 2 stroke might be exponentially worse.
